The South Granville Water and Sewer Authority has awarded a contract for construction of the first phase of the I-85 Sanitary Sewer Improvement Project — subject to approval by state environmental officials — to a Tennesse company for an amount not to exceed $34,832,000.
CDM Smith, the consulting engineers for the project, reviewed bids received, and Haren Construction Company Inc. of Etowah, Tennessee, was the lowest bidder, with a total bid amount of $34,832,000. That bid includes a base bid amount of $30,625,700 and a total amount of $4,206,300 for a combination of bid alternatives.
In action taken at the SGWASA Board’s Dec. 10 meeting, the contract award was made contingent upon the approval of the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality.
“This project has been enacted to upgrade the sanitary sewer infrastructure along the I-85 corridor to ensure efficient and reliable wastewater management, promoting environmental sustainability and public health,” according to a project update posted on the SGWASA website.
